1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Temozolomide, a key drug in the treatment of malignant glioma, can cause profound lymphopenia and various opportunistic infectious diseases. A 79-year-old woman with anaplastic oligodendroglioma developed a fever and gross hematuria after 8 weeks of standard radiotherapy with concomitant temozolomide treatment. A cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen test for pp65 antigenemia was positive (137 cells per 75,800 leukocytes), and the findings from a urine cytology test were consistent with CMV-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. She was treated with ganciclovir, and her condition improved. CMV monitoring is needed when patients develop symptoms related to opportunistic infections during temozolomide treatment for malignant glioma.
